Clen Ellyn, Illinoin 60137 Dear Mr. Keppler MONTICELLO NUCLEAR CENERATING PLANT Docket No. 50-263 License No. DPR-22 PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR CENERATING PLAhT Docket No. 50-282 License No. DPR-42 Docket No. 50-306 License No. DPR-60 MSP received letters for the Monticello and Prairie Island dockets, dated March 15, 1977, from Mr. D. L. Zimmann of Operating Peactors Branch f2, Division of Operating Reactors, which transwitted six criteria for
" individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures." The lettet further stated that the 1&E inspector assigned to our facility will be using the same criteria in determining whether the designated individuals on operating shifts meet these requirements. The plants have reviewed the criteria and have detezzined that the desi uated individuals on each t
operating shif t are qualified in radiation protection procedures as described in the first five criteria.
The requirement that "an individual qualified in radiation protection shall be on site at all cimes that there is fuel on site" was included in an Administrative Controle Technical Specification revision for the Monticello Plc 3 in April,1973, and was contained in the original Technical Spe. (fications for the Prairie Island Plant in August, 1973. During the discussions with the Regulatory Staff on proposed reviatone to the Administrative Controls section of the Technical specifications in 1972 and 1973, it was explained to vs that this requirement was to provide interim radiation protection coverage during unexpected situations on backahif ts or weekends until the arrival of Radiation Protection Specialists.
We agree that the actions related ec. criteria 1-5 are those that might have to be provided by the operating shift on an interim baats until the arrival of radiation protection personnal. The sixth criteria requires 37fOL/00 N 9105150376 770428 PDR ADOCK 05000263 P

i Mr. James C. Keppler April 28. 1977 i
l that the designated individuel ba qualified to " conduct other routine radiological duties (e.g.. Ts aur teillance itene) as may be required 4
on backshifts or waekends." We Fmve found that there is no need en schedule the perform 4nce of " routine radiological duties" on backshif ts or weekends. There is no basis, tt refore, that shif t operating personnel be trained or certiftsd far " routine radiological duties" as described in the sixth criterie.
If Technical Specification surveillance items arise unexpectedly on a backahite or weekend. such as a startup chemistry or of f-gas samples. Radiation Protection Specialists are called j
in to conduct such activities.
Yours very truly.
